Spain’s shame – nearly 500 voters injured by police in Catalonia on polling day

The intransigence of the Catalan regional government and the government in Madrid under Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, has led to almost 500 members of the public being injured by police as Catalans tried as best they could to vote on their future, under or outside of Spanish control.

Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont said, “The unjustified use of violence… by the Spanish state will not stop the will of the Catalan people,” speaking of unjustified violence dished out by the Guardia Civil and the National Police who had flooded the region to back up the local police force, Mossos d’Esquadra.
